I think it needs a change of perspective. It's very hard to get a child interested in things like programming by introducing him to it. I picked up programming by watching my brother do programming and I asked him to teach me some basics. I think this is a better approach. Instead of introducing a kid to Python, work on a simple game in Python and let him watch. He will see that you find it cool (despite it being "boring" compared to alternatives like Roblox), and he will see what it looks like, and if all goes well, he will ask you to teach him to do the same.
